LO OZEV ET HA'IR

NOT LEAVING THIS TOWN

Ani lifney siyum, soger kvar et hasha'ar

I am close to ending, I close the gate

I leave the issue, and sneak into the path

And you, before ending, are asking: are you staying?

With this song prevent us from going on.

Not leaving this town, I tell you, for no one

We are both small, and among us one God

For me you are like a thin silence

Any way, I am not leaving you

And then, because you come to the room
and the radio is playing

Only the beach signs raise a doubt in me

And you, before ending,
are asking: will it be too much

If both of us will suddenly cry without holding back

Not leaving this town......................

Hours before ending I promise you

From some kind of a dream both of us remain in front of the sea

I want you to know that it is like dying before ending

Look at the horizon, some kind of small town is stretched there

A small town, full of heat

TZEL ETZ TAMAR

SHADE OF THE PALM TREE

Tsel etz tamar ve'or yarei'ach

Oleh batzlil ro'eid, bokei'a,

Manginotecha yashkichu et sivli.

Al ma olam achzar vera.

Be'arpilei avar tofia

Dmut ahuva, tavei panim mukarim.

Kinor yashmia shai zichronot

Nagen, nagena...

Shade of the palm tree and moonlight

And the violin's melody enchants the heart.

Rising in the sound, trembling, splitting apart,

Pain pours out from the strings.

Play violin, play your songs,

How great is the darkness and silence all around.

Your melodies will make me forget my suffering.

Play, please play,

To your sound, how pleasant is the dream.

Play, please play,

Moon, hear my voice, up there in the heavens.

Oh why, why,

Did you charm me with your language?

You conquered my heart and left me

Loving, hurt and suffering.

The violin is silent, the moon hidden.

In the silence a melody's echo is still heard.

Why and what for, only God knows -

Why the world is so cruel and bad.

Out of the fog of the past will appear

A beloved figure, lines of a familiar face.

The violin will sound a gift of memories

so pleasant.

Play, please play...

MOTHER

Who walks by my side
for the length of the journey
with each dream, each look,
Mother.

Who wraps all of me,
in a neverending warmth
in love, in worry,
Mother.

Just embrace me
and see who's dearest to me of all
don't change for me
don't go from me ever, ever.
You know the way,
to the heart that has no secret
your hand touches my soul
and covers everything.

Who gives all of herself
without a shadow of regret
in her soul close to me
dear Mother.
You were never broken
you never err
you wipe away my tear,
Mother.

Just embrace me...

Like a sun you shine
and evil turns to good
come Mother, take the fear
and hug me close.

Who walks by my side...

HORA OF THE SPRINKLER

TURN, TURN, SPRINKLER

The current is making music in the pipe
Pipes – the arteries of the Negev
This is the course of the melody:
From the spigot to the clod
Rise the waters of the deep
The pump spells bread!
Negev O Negev, what has this day wrought?
Negev, the sprinklers are upon you!

Chorus:
Turn, turn, sprinkler, hey!
Turn, turn, sprinkler
To scatter the shining pearls
Turn and spray water
The trees will trumpet in the grove
The earth will bear its fruit
Without rain from the heavens,
Rain from the heavens

The whole expanse is held captive;
The pipes have cast their net
And here is a sign and a signal:
In the droplets, a rainbow appears –
A covenant of the flower and the field
A covenant of the stillness and the melody
Sprinkler, your song is a song indeed
Play it without end

SONGS UP TO HERE

Songs till now
we were given a time extension
until our time stops.
There were rains and light
what more can you want,
what more can you want
those more beautiful than you and I
those more beautiful than you and I
the Earth took.

Songs till now
minute after minute
short, loving and painful
but the last
final and long
final and long
the sun dial and the sand
the sun dial and the sand
got to the line.

Songs till now
at the height of the peak
even the air starts to be think
but to you and me
words still remain
words still remain
to remember how we were here
to remember how we were here
when the garden will be closed.

Songs till now
the weeping and the laughter
people's voices, the stars of time.
The sun and the sea
the bread, the world
the bitter and the sweet
and all that was - we will leave
and all that was - we will leave
to live within the song.

COMING TO YOU (PL.)

When it's sad and not going
when it's scary and complicated
I come to you, i come to you
the car is roaming on the road
it seems even it feels
that I'm coming to you, I'm coming to you

Dad will say: "the princess has arrived"
Mom is lit up from joy in a second
our girl, how much we yearned
wait a bit my girl
before you grow up
our girl, how much we yearned
wait a bit my girl
before you grow up

Short girl on a long path
won't stop to tie the lace
I'm running to you, I'm running to you
and the story on her tongue
flies and already the first one goes in
I'm running to you, I'm running to you

Dad will say...

MISS MUSIC

Hey boys, hey girls
I didn’t come here just to stand [still]
And the rhythm moves me, grows [inside me]
Miss Music, from another world...

It catches me
Strong on the beat
Nothing’s important
Except the rhythm
And anything’s possible
And anything’s allowed here
Miss Music and it’s not gonna end!

Chorus:
Music, and everything works out
Music, from another world
The right thing at just the right time
The same language all over the world...

She always surprises me
Succeeds in reviving and exciting me
It’s the truest thing
You don’t even need to think about it,
Miss Music it just does me good...

She brings me up
So easily
When I’m sad
It’s so simple
It’s a type of basic need
To get to the top
Miss Music, she’s always with me!

WORDS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THESE

You are my first love

It doesn't mean that I am never
it's just now so wait
and then I will come when the fury passes
and then I will return - when it clears up.

It doesn't mean I'm not thinking
about you every day, every hour
There still isn't any tranquility, any silence
for in every place your figure rises in front of me.

Even if it'd be hard for me to say
words more beautiful than these
even if I didn't find a way to say that I'm yours
know that I love only you
know in my heart I'm always with you
do know that I'm always always with you.

It doesn't mean that it's so and no other way
it's just a storm on a passing day
and then you'll see how when the sun will shine
I will return to you from the rainy day.
